RECRUITING EXPOSURE:

Every NCAA-II; NCAA-III; NAIA and Junior College in the region of the showcase will be invited to attend the event. Each college coach that attends will receive a packet that includes your contact information so that they may contact you after the event. The event and the packet is free for college coaches, which is more attractive for college coaches (especially small colleges). Additionally, the NCAA Division I schools in the showcase's region will be emailed a list of contact information on the participants, as well as a list of the Top-10 "All-Stars" from the event (as chosen by a panel of showcase officials). All region colleges will also receive a list of contact information thus increasing the chances of a participant being contacted. Per NCAA rules, Division I colleges are not allowed to attend recruiting events during this weekend. Also, as a recruiting disclaimer, remember that these events are an opportunity to showcase a player's skills on that day. They are not sure-fire ways to get a college scholarship. Many scholarships are offered as a result of a player being discovered for the first time at a showcase event. However, there are no guarantees that a player will get recruited by participating in a showcase. Recruiting is not an exact science. Recruiters don't all look for the same thing in players. Each coach and each program is different. However, college coaches make a living by finding the right players to fit their programs. They are always looking for that talented individual that will fit their program's needs.

FORMAT:

Players will play 3 games

Every effort is made by Showcase directors to split up teams evenly

Each player is guaranteed to play half the game. It is possible that certain players could play additional minutes if a team does not have a full squad of 10 players.

Games are 40 minutes long with pre-determined substitution times

No game score will be kept.

Games will consist of two-20:00 minute halves. Halftime will be 3:00 long.

Clock will run continous with no stoppage throughout the entire half.

No free throws will be shot. A foul "on the floor" will result in the offensive team retaining possession and taking the ball out of bounds. A shooting foul will be treated as if it is a made basket and the defense will take the ball out of bounds (being put into play by the official).

No fouls are kept. However, excessive or deliberate fouling could be cause for removal.

Technical fouls or unsportsmanlike behavior could result in being benched or removed from the event entirely.

Teams will be determined by the Hoops Plus staff on the day of the event. Teams will consist of at least 6 players with no more than 10 on a team. There will be two colors for team uniforms (White and Red). The teams will be numbered. The White Teams will only play the Red Teams.

Emphasis of the event is on showcasing your skills and having fun playing basketball.

VIDEO:

Video taping of the games is allowed. However, please be respectful of the other spectators.

FOOD:

A concession stand with a variety of types of foods, snacks and beverages will be available at reasonable prices. Additionally, many different types of restaurants are mere minutes away from the gym locations.

ANKLE TAPING:

Athletic training staff will be available to tape ankles. However, you must bring your own tape. If you do not have tape, then it will cost $2 per ankle.
